l4 define and start to get key case studies together
TRANSCRIPT
Introduction: shop window of the Report9-10 Clear reference to title: develops a focus
Indication of framework, either by concepts and/or case studies Accurate definitions of key terms
• Focus (direction, argument)
• Framework (structure, parameters, scope)
• Definitions (from the Report title)
• Many reports have incomplete coverage of these aspects
• Better ones reference definitions; include quotes
• A model / theory provides a framework – as long as it is referred to again in the analysis / conclusion.
• Justifying particular examples / case studies helps the Report flow more successfully
Avoid sub-sub-sections e.g.
1.1.1. DefinitionsThe words I need to define are......
1.1.2 FocusThe focus of this report is .....(rewrites question)
This style tends to lead to a very broken up / ‘bitty’
intro.
IntroductionsQ1:The number of tectonic hazards is not increasing but their impact has become
more disastrous. Discuss
Define tectonic hazard + disaster (crucial difference) – state some ‘killer’ facts (death tolls, trends). Consider what impacts
might mean (soc/ eco/ pol etc)
Possibly a quote e.g. UNISDR
Need to decide on a timescale (s), so what’s it going to be?
Focus on some criteria to make a judgment i.e. decide how to measure impacts
Concepts / models introduced (and drawn?)
Where is the report going? What’s the thrust of the argument going to be?
Structure of the evidence to be presented?
Case studies and examples – why chosen?
